Hopefully the back half of my college football parlay picks is better than the front. With Week 7 of the season upon us we’ve reached the midway point of the season and I’m still searching for a winning ticket. The individual picks have been fine, but I’ve yet to put them all on the same ticket. If you like backing ranked teams when you bet on College Football using crypto, Week 6 was not a fun time. Four top 10 squads, including No. 1 Alabama, all lost, and three other top 25s were upset. At least three more ranked teams will go down in Week 7 with three matchups featuring ranked squads. The biggest takes place in the Big Ten with No. 2 Ohio State visiting No. 3 Oregon. The Red River Rivalry between No. 1 Texas and No. 16 Oklahoma isn’t far behind. Not playing last week was the best thing that could’ve happened to the Horns, who climbed back to the top spot amid all the chaos.

Week 7 College Football Parlay Card Wagers
San Jose State / Colorado State OVER 56.5
Minnesota -5.5 at UCLA
Iowa State -3 at West Virginia
For the second straight week two of my three parlay picks were losers and both games are examples of why CFB wagering is so frustrating and parlays are so difficult to win. I felt good about backing Missouri +2.5 in their game at Texas AM. The Tigers were undefeated and boasted a top defense. However, when you pad stats against Murray State and Buffalo, a good opponent can expose you. And I certainly didn’t expect James Madison to get slowed down. The Dukes put up 70 on UNC and followed with 63 against Ball State. They were held to 19 points by Louisiana-Monroe and failed to cash the OVER handing me another loss.
Is Indiana a threat in the Big Ten? We’ll find out later when the Hoosiers play Michigan and Ohio State, but for now they certainly are. I was saved from an ohfer when Indy covered the 14-point spread in a 41-24 win over Northwestern. I’m tempted to back them again since they’ve earned payouts in five straight games, but they have a bye. I also hit my honorable mention pick when Clemson covered the 14.5-point line in a 29-13 win over Florida State.
The college football betting week starts on Tuesday with at least one game every day until a full slate on Saturday. I’ll reserve my picks for Saturday’s action starting with a Mountain West matchup that will cease to be in a few years. San Jose State has a prolific offense and a leaky defense with games yielding a bunch of points. In their last two outings the Spartans have scored 87 points while giving up 85. You might think the total of 56.5 is high, but for SJSU it isn’t.
Travelling a few thousand miles to play a football game can take a toll. Unfortunately that’s the new landscape of college football and teams have to adjust. The Gophers make the trip to SoCal and finally get to play in the Rose Bowl, but it’s not the actual bowl game but the home venue of UCLA. Either way, Minnesota will be geeked after upsetting USC at home last week to even their record. The Bruins earned payouts in their last three games though they lost them all by an average of 18 points. They just aren’t a good football team with their only win by three points over Hawai’i in the season opener. The Gophers can easily win this game by a touchdown making the 5-point line inviting.
It’s only fitting that with all the bad weather we’re seeing making a wager on the Cyclones is the way to go. Iowa State’s matchup with West Virginia is a pivotal Big 12 contest with both teams undefeated in conference play. Rocco Becht has been money throwing for nearly 1,200 yards and nine TDs for an offense that averages more than 31 points. And WVU isn’t the most stout defensively giving me enough confidence to back the visitors minus the points in what’s sure to be a hostile environment.
Since I won my honorable mention pick last week I’ll give it another go. And is there a bigger game to wager on than the top 5 showdown between Ohio State and Oregon? The Ducks have a significant home field advantage at Autzen Stadim and they’ve looked much better in their last three games holding opponents to 14 points or less while topping the 30-point mark. A narrow win over Boise State in Week 2 doesn’t look all that bad now either. Getting points at home is enough to back the Ducks.
